1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Anthropogenic pollution poses a serious threat to wildlife. Particularly concerning are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) due to their ability to mimic or interfere with hormone signalling. Given the fundamental role of hormones in regulating immunity and reproduction, androgenic EDCs are predicted to impact immunocompetence and associated life-history trade-offs. Yet, despite their potency and environmental ubiquity, the effects of androgenic EDCs on immune function and reproductive allocation remain poorly understood. Here, we tested how exposure to the androgenic agricultural pollutant 17β-trenbolone affects immunity and reproductive investment in eastern mosquitofish (
